An Indexable Cold Form Tap is a type of cutting tool used in machining processes, specifically for threading operations. It involves the tap pressing into the workpiece material to reshape it into the desired thread profile. The ability to index the inserts means that as one insert wears out or becomes dull, it can be rotated or replaced with a fresh edge, thus maintaining the effectiveness and longevity of the tap. Indexable Cold Form Tap are preferred in manufacturing environments where precision threading is needed in harder materials or where long tool life and efficiency are crucial.
